And with that, Taehyung, the town farmer's nephew, left the Prince's bedroom, leaving the royal speechless and embarrassed.

12:01am
Jungkook's bedroom
After Taehyung left.

After a few minutes alone, Jungkook decided to go downstairs in the library to go see his two hyungs.

"What took taehyung-ah so long to leave your room?" Jimin asked as he sat up with his book in his lap.

jungkook sighed and sat down on the chair, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "I think I might like Taehyung, and he doesn't feel the same."

Seokjin's and Jimin's eyes widened, "you what now?!" They both yelled in unison.

Jungkook noticed their expressions, a small frown appearing on his features.

"Is that a problem?" He asked, worried he's made a bad decision.

Jimin sighed, "you've literally just met him earlier today, don't tell me you're already in love with him?"

"Jimin, I literally told you today that I thought I was in love. How long did you know Yoongi before getting into a relationship with him?"

"Me and Yoongi were childhood friends, even when we were young I loved him, so when I turned the age of eighteen, we decided to give a relationship a go."

Jungkook sighed, suddenly stressed.

The Prince thought for a moment before it clicked, "wait. My father set me up with another Prince at the party, didn't he."

His hyungs both sighed, Jungkook was correct.

"Oh for fuck sake!" He groaned, putting a pillow onto his face in annoyance.

"His name is Prince Kim Yugyeom, he is your age and he's from the Namyangju-si Kingdom.

Jungkook sat up, "when will I meet him?" Even though he completely despised his father for setting him up, he was still intrigued.

"On Sunday, you and Prince Yugyeom will be having a date in his Kingdom's royal garden," Seokjin explained.

"So technically tomorrow considering it's now midnight?" Jungkook questioned even though he already knew the obvious answer.

The two nodded and the Prince just sighed. "Oh, Jungkook-ah, I have a gift for you," the General said, changing the topic.

Seokjin pulled something from behind him, "I bought you some canvases as I noticed you used all of your other ones!" He passed the boy the canvases and his face lit up.

"Thank you so much hyung!!" Although the boy was literally rich and would soon be ruling an entire Kingdom, he was still very grateful for the gifts he received.


The next morning, all Jungkook did was sketch an outline for a painting.

Soon he added the paint and was in complete awe.

"It's literally perfect!!" Jungkook squealed. He was proud of himself for capturing a persons beauty in a painting.

Knocks where placed onto the door, which opened to reveal Jimin. "Jungkook, your father told me to tell you that you are leaving during sunset to go to Namyangju-si, you'll be staying there for two nights in the Palace there with Prince Yugueom and his family. Seokjin hyung will be there with you throughout your stay."

"Thanks hyung."

Jimin noticed the canvas had been painted on, "what'd you paint this time?" He peaked and saw one of the most realistic paintings he's ever seen, Taehyung.

"Holy shit Jungkook-ssi, that's so beautifully done," Jimin was astonished, he knew the Prince had many talents, but he didn't know that he could make such realistic portraits using just an image in his head.

The Prince smiled, "thank you hyung, I think it's one of my best pieces yet," he set down the paint brush and packed away his things, only leaving out a larger paint brush with a clear sealant to paint over once it was finished drying, to give it a gloss effect and to make sure it doesn't get destroyed.

9:21pm
Sunset.

"Jungkook-ah! It's time to go!" The Queen yelled. The Prince sighed and walked downstairs with a suitcase in his hand.

Even though he'd only be away for a few days, his parents make sure he always takes a suitcase with him with all the necessaries. Which includes his crown's box since the crown had to be on his head, pepper spray, clothes, toiletries such has his toothbrush, deodorant, toothpaste etc.

"Oh you look so handsome!" The Queen squealed as she smoothed his face.

"It's just a normal hanbok, I always wear it, it's nothing new," he complained, swatting his mother's hands away from his face.

"Your sister will be arriving tomorrow to the Namyangju-si Kingdom to meet Prince Yugyeom and his family," the Queen explained.

Jungkook only nodded, giving his mother a kiss on her cheek and a bow to his father before leaving with Seokjin in front of him.

"Are you ready to go?" The General asked as he sat in the carriage with the Prince, the suitcase in between his legs.

He sighed, looking at his fingers whilst giving a small nod.

"We'll be on our way now."

Don't fuck anything up, Jungkook. Make your family proud. Stop thinking about the commoner, Kim Taehyung, and instead think about the Prince of namyangju-si, Kim Yugyeom.
